Oh WOW, I had no clue. When I read "Space Ace" I had no clue what it was, but when I saw that pic it brought it back. I remember seeing that movie when I was a kid, totally don't remember anything about it, but when I saw the villians face I remembered it. Definitely getting this one, no doubt. Will have to call my sister over to watch it when I get it

I'm DEFINITELY buying this!

And I still need to buy Dragon's Lair... I think I'll buy it... NOW!

EDIT: Just bought it.

Never seen it.
But from the looks of that cover think they need to pick something more for the audience.

At least they are taking advantage of HDi this time unlike Dragon's Lair.

From wiki:

A short-lived cartoon series based on Space Ace was produced in 1984, and was aired as part of the Saturday Supercade cartoon block, which was composed of cartoon shorts based on current video games. Twelve Space Ace episodes were produced. The episodes were once shown on Cartoon Network and are still sometimes shown as filler in Boomerang's Boomeraction block.

That must have been what I remember seeing then, I never played it as a game.
